No thanks. Someone walking around with an assault rifle isn’t going to make me feel safe. Quite the opposite actually. It’s going to make me feel like I’m in a warzone, which aren’t generally regarded as safe places.

I always feel intimidated by cops in full combat gear and rifle at airports. I know I didn’t do anything wrong, but it’s like when a cop is following right behind you in traffic. Even though you aren’t doing anything, he might decide you are. He has all the power and you have none.
